Policy
All student employees must be enrolled at Illinois State University and remain enrolled for at least half-time during the semester of employment. Per the State Universities Civil Service System (SUCSS) Administrative Rule (80 IL Admin Code 250.70(e)(3)), the student must be enrolled:
- Fall/Spring semesters: 6 undergraduate credit hours, or 5 graduate credit hours
- Summer sessions: 3 undergraduate credit hours, or 3 graduate credit hours
However, a student does not need to be enrolled during the summer session to work on campus during that summer session if the student was enrolled at least half-time in the previous spring semester or is enrolled at least half-time in the following fall semester. All credit hours must be earned at Illinois State University; credit hours at another college or university are not applicable.
Students not meeting the minimum hour requirement may apply for a minimum hour exemption through Human Resources. The exemption must be approved by the Associate Vice President of Human Resources and SUCSS before the student is allowed to work.
Depending on the visa held, an international student may be required to hold full-time student status during the fall and spring semesters in order to work on campus.
